Comap press-fit reducing tee 32x3 - 16x2 - 32x3, model 7130RW321632

Comap press-fit reducing tee 32x3 - 16x2 - 32x3, model 7130RW321632, is a press-fit plumbing fitting designed to create a reduced-diameter branch in metal pipe systems. The fitting provides a solder-free connection using press technology, enabling a compact transition from the main run to a smaller branch while maintaining flow integrity. It is intended for use in heating systems, potable water distribution and sanitary installations where a reliable, leak-resistant branch is required.

Advantages

The press-fit reducing tee delivers secure, mechanically pressed joints that reduce installation time compared with conventional soldered connections. Its design minimizes the need for open flame or flux, improving safety on work sites. The fitting offers corrosion-resistant material properties suitable for contact with potable water and heating media. Its compact geometry supports installation in confined spaces and allows straightforward integration into standard metal pipe systems.

Suitable for

• Creating a reduced-diameter branch in heating distribution systems
• Potable water supply networks requiring solder-free joints
• Sanitary and plumbing installations in residential and commercial buildings
• HVAC assemblies where compact, press-fit transitions are needed

Key specifications

• Main run outer diameter: 32 mm with 3 mm wall thickness
• Branch outer diameter: 16 mm with 2 mm wall thickness
• Press-fit connection type for all three ends
• Material: corrosion-resistant metal suitable for potable water and heating media
• Compact tee geometry for installations with limited space

How to use

Prepare the pipes by cutting squarely and deburring the ends. Verify that pipe outer diameters and wall thicknesses match the fitting dimensions before assembly. Insert pipes fully into the respective press-fit ends according to manufacturer guidance. Use a compatible press tool and jaws sized for the specified diameters to make the mechanical joints. After pressing, inspect each joint visually for correct indentation and check for leaks under appropriate test pressure before putting the system into regular operation.

Usage recommendations

Ensure compatibility between the fitting material and the system media; follow applicable plumbing and heating standards during installation. Use the correct press jaws and tooling for 32 mm and 16 mm diameters and perform pressure testing after installation. Store fittings in a dry environment and avoid damaging the press ends prior to assembly.
